God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me

But Zong Yuanqing's actions had left Ye Fan somewhat baffled!

What was happening?

When Ye Fan had proposed the Blood Covenant, it was meant to be somewhat of a challenge. Moreover, he had clearly sensed that Zong Yuanqing's first reaction upon hearing the words "Blood Covenant" was intense anger.

How then had his attitude changed so abruptly?

Ye Fan looked up at the floating Golden Dragons above his head, were they related to this?

Zong Yuanqing held nothing back, his expression serious as he said to Ye Fan, "Young Master Ye! The fluctuating aura of those Golden Dragons on you should best be kept hidden… Currently, your strength is insufficient, and these things may easily bring about fatal disasters, understand?"

The Nine Yang Dragon Veins, which even the Ye Family Ancestor coveted, were certainly rare, Ye Fan understood this well.

But the key point was the Nine Dragon Body Protection; such a situation wasn't something Ye Fan could control.

In Guangcheng Tiankui Base, when Ye Fan was bombarded, at the moment of life and death, the Nine Dragons automatically emerged to protect him! And this time, when faced with a life-threatening crisis, the Nine Dragons appeared once again.

It seemed that each time Ye Fan faced danger, the Nine Dragons would emerge.

"Elder, do you know what this Nine Dragons Bloodline means?" Ye Fan asked, furrowing his brow at Zong Yuanqing. This old man definitely knew some truth.

A muscle in Zong Yuanqing's face twitched, "This… Young Master Ye, I'm not particularly clear about the specifics! But one thing I'm sure of, if your Nine Dragons Bloodline were exposed, those hidden powers in the Secular World, the Supreme Family, as well as all the big shots in the Immortal Domain, they would all spare no cost to hunt you down to seize your bloodline! Unless you possess enough strength to protect yourself!"

Zong Yuanqing spoke, yet it seemed he said nothing!

Because it involved some taboos, Zong Yuanqing hesitated before adding, "Young Master Ye! If you have the chance, try to interact more with things from the ancient times, absorb the ancient aura; maybe… you could recall something!"

Ye Fan was startled internally, understanding that despite everything Zong Yuanqing had said, his last remark was crucial!

Absorbing the ancient aura from ancient times, Ye Fan was reminded of when he entered that strange state while the Immortal Music played in Guangcheng, and countless memory fragments appeared in his mind!

Crucially, while kissing Qi Jiao, those fragments also surfaced in his mind!

This was astonishing!

Could it be that Qi Jiao also possessed the ancient aura from ancient times?

With this trip to the Northwest, Ye Fan had already notified Qi Jiao to stay by his side, and it seemed, should the opportunity arise, he must interact more and see, after those memory fragments fully restored, what exactly the situation was!

"Thank you, elder! As for the item, I will accept it… As for the Blood Covenant..."

Ye Fan held the Jade Slip in his hand, feeling the strong energy contained within. Ye Fan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Zong Yuanqing had given him three Jade Slips, which were like three powerful trump cards; these were offensive techniques powerful enough for combatants in the Immortal Domain. Such Jade Slips were also the opposing party's life-saving trump cards, just given to him like that. If he were to forcefully demand Zong Yuanqing to form a Blood Covenant, it would seem somewhat unkind!

However, to Ye Fan's surprise, Zong Yuanqing appeared not only unopposed but even somewhat expectant.

"Form it! It must be formed now…" as Zong Yuanqing spoke, he flicked his wrist, drawing a drop of Essence Blood from his heart, floating it in front of him, "Young Master Ye, please proceed!"

This...

Ye Fan was confused!

Despite Zong Yuanqing being much stronger than him, he voluntarily showed weakness, allowing Ye Fan to form a Blood Covenant that could control Zong Yuanqing at any time. It felt as if a tall and burly man of six feet three inches respectfully knelt before a kindergarten child, calling him "father" and not daring to breathe too heavily.

Such a reversal made Ye Fan quite uncomfortable.

Ye Fan looked at Xuan Yufei. For the safety of Xuan Yufei, this Blood Covenant had to be formed no matter what.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Fan extracted a drop of his Essence Blood and began to form the intricate and mysterious patterns according to the method in the dragon-patterned ring, eventually creating the Blood Covenant, which then entered Zong Yuanqing's body.

Throughout the process, Zong Yuanqing did not object at all.

In fact, fearing that his strong power would instinctively resist, Zong Yuanqing even temporarily suppressed his strength below the Martial Saint Realm.

When Ye Fan completed the Blood Covenant, he breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Zong Yuanqing, who was almost jumping for joy inside!

At last!

Had a bond finally been formed?

The reason Zong Yuanqing agreed to form a Blood Covenant with Ye Fan was that he knew neither he nor his Sect had any ill intentions toward Xuan Yufei. Another key reason was that Zong Yuanqing hoped to form a deep connection and emotional bond with Ye Fan through the Blood Covenant… According to the concept of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, the two had now established karma and karmic obstacles!

If Ye Fan truly was the legendary Starry Sky Emperor from ancient times, then Zong Yuanqing would gain a tremendous opportunity.

After all, according to legend, even a cat that was with the Starry Sky Emperor had power above that of an Immortal Emperor… If Ye Fan completely awakened after entering the Immortal Domain, wouldn't he have latched onto a massive golden leg?

"Senior, about Princess Yu…" Ye Fan looked at the unconscious Xuan Yufei, who took shallow breaths only once every two minutes, and his heart ached tremendously.

He hadn't expected that after all his efforts to retrieve the Lycoris Flower in the Death Sea Area, it had only allowed Xuan Yufei to briefly regain consciousness, and she couldn't even remember him.

"Don't worry, Young Master Ye. With me here, I won't let anything happen to Princess Yu! However, we might not have much time. The sooner Princess Yu enters the Sect Holy Pool to soak, the quicker her spirit will recover... I will keep in touch with Young Master Ye at all times!"

Zong Yuanqing said earnestly, "Young Master Ye should know about Sin City in the Northwest Border, right? Through the Northwest Zhong Family, we can get in touch… I will also instruct the Zhong Family to provide any support you require!"

"Okay!"

Ye Fan nodded. He had some understanding of Sin City from before. It was said to be a chaotic city that served as a communication hub between the Immortal Domain, Ancient Martial Arts, and the Secular World!

There, laws and morals mattered not… Only power reigned supreme, making it a paradise for sinners.

Although Ye Fan did not wish to enter Sin City on his journey to the Northwest, his brother had died there, and current indications suggested the involvement of several major forces from Sin City.

To avenge his brother and find the fragments of the Immortal Palace Map, Ye Fan had to enter Sin City!

Watching Zong Yuanqing leave with Xuan Yufei, Ye Fan sighed helplessly!

Things were not so gentle on Yu Linglong's grandmother's end. Ding Xiu had managed to buy three months. During these three months, Ye Fan had to rapidly enhance his strength, breaking through Martial Saint Peak and entering a realm above Foundation Establishment in the Immortal Domain to potentially protect Yu Linglong…

After the journey to the Northwest, having mostly dealt with Prince Jin's minions, it was time to storm the Capital for the final battle…
